Bord sharpens the blade of his battle axe. He watches the spinning blade of the sharpener produce bright sparkling specks as it clashes with the iron axe.

The axe was worn down, since it is heavily used. It's rough wooden stick is covered with a soft padding that allows a firm, comfortable grip. Thinking of his axe fills Bord's heart with joy, he doesn't have much time to reflect on sentimental things, or the heart to do so. He knows he got a big day tomorrow. Marth's resistance was moving out of camp meaning that Bord would have to pack up his stuff and leave.

He straightened out the tips of the blade and polished both sides of the axe and handle, the polish a generous gift from a friend. Gently, he places his prized possession into his leather pouch and fastens it onto his back.
